1 Corinthians 1
1 Paul, called to be an Apostle of Christ Jesus through the will of God--and our brother Sosthenes:
An Paulo, moluongi mondo obed jaote mar Kristo Yesu kaluwore gi dwaro mar Nyasaye kaachiel kod owadwa Sostheno,
2 To the Church of God in Corinth, men and women consecrated in Christ Jesus, called to be saints, with all in every place who call on the name of our Lord Jesus Christ-- their Lord as well as ours.
Wandikonu un kanisa mar Nyasaye man Korintho, ma un joma osepwodhi ei Kristo Yesu, kendo moseluongi mondo obed jomaler kaachiel gi ji mamoko duto man kamoro amora maluongo nying Ruodhwa Yesu Kristo, ma en Ruodhgi kendo Ruodhwa:
3 May grace and peace be granted to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Ngʼwono gi kwe moa kuom Nyasaye Wuonwa kod Ruoth Yesu Kristo obed kodu.
4 I thank my God continually on your behalf for the grace of God bestowed on you in Christ Jesus--
Adwokone Nyasacha erokamano kinde duto kuomu, nikech ngʼwonone mosemiyou kuom Kristo Yesu.
5 that you have been so richly blessed in Him, with readiness of speech and fulness of knowledge.
Nimar kuome usebedo momew e yore duto kuom weche ma uwacho kod ngʼeyo ma un-go,
6 Thus my testimony as to the Christ has been confirmed in your experience,
nikech nendwa kuom Kristo nosir e dieru.
7 so that there is no gift of God in which you consciously come short while patiently waiting for the reappearing of our Lord Jesus Christ,
Kuom mano, ok uremo mich moro amora mar Roho kuritogo odiechiengʼ ma Ruodhwa Yesu Kristo nofwenyree.
8 who will also keep you stedfast to the very End, so that you will be free from reproach on the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.
En bende obiro ritou mondo ubed motegno nyaka giko, mondo omi ubed maonge bura chiengʼ mar Ruodhwa Yesu Kristo.
9 God is ever true to His promises, and it was by Him that you were, one and all, called into fellowship with his Son Jesus Christ, our Lord.
Nyasaye moseluongou mondo ubedi e lalruok gi Wuode Yesu Kristo Ruodhwa en ja-adiera.
10 Now I entreat you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, to cultivate a spirit of harmony--all of you--and that there be no divisions among you, but rather a perfect union through your having one mind and one judgement.
Jowetena, asayou e nying Ruodhwa Yesu Kristo, mondo un duto uwinjru ngʼato gi ngʼato. Kik pogruok moro amora bedi e kindu, to beduru kuriworu maonge pogruok, ka un gi dwaro achiel kod paro achiel.
11 For I have been distinctly informed, my brethren, about you by Chloe's people, that there are dissensions among you.
Jowetena, jood Kloe moko osekelona wach ni nitie dhawo e dieru.
12 What I mean is that each of you is a partisan. One man says "I belong to Paul;" another "I belong to Apollos;" a third "I belong to Peter;" a fourth "I belong to Christ."
Tiend gima awacho chal kama: Ngʼat moro kuomu wacho niya, “An ngʼat Paulo,” to ngʼat machielo to wacho niya, “An ngʼat Apolo,” machielo bende oramo niya, “An ngʼat Kefa,” to moro wacho niya, “An ngʼat Kristo.”
13 Is the Christ in fragments? Is it Paul who was crucified on your behalf? Or were you baptized to be Paul's adherents?
Kristo dipogre nyadi di? Paulo bende nogur e msalaba nikech un? Koso nuyudo batiso e nying Paulo?
14 I thank God that I did not baptize any of you except Crispus and Gaius--
Adwoko erokamano ne Nyasaye ni ne ok abatiso ngʼato kuomu kata achiel makmana Krispo gi Gayo,
15 for fear people should say that you were baptized to be my adherents.
omiyo onge ngʼama nyalo wacho ni noyudo batiso e nyinga.
16 I did, however, baptize Stephanas' household also: but I do not think that I baptized any one else.
(Ee, jood Stefano bende ne abatiso, to ok apar ni ne abatiso ngʼat machielo mokalo mano.)
17 Christ did not send me to baptize, but to proclaim the Good News; and not in merely wise words--lest the Cross of Christ should be deprived of its power.
Nikech Kristo ne ok oora mondo abatis ji, to noora mondo ayal Injili, ok gi weche mamit mag rieko dhano, nono to dipo ka msalap Kristo obedo tekone.
18 For the Message of the Cross is foolishness to those who are on the way to perdition, but it is the power of God to those whom He is saving.
Wach msalaba en fuwo ni joma lal, to ni wan joma iwaro, en teko Nyasaye,
19 For so it stands written, "I will exhibit the nothingness of the wisdom of the wise, and the intelligence of the intelligent I will bring to nought."
nikech ondiki niya, “Abiro ketho rieko joma riek; kendo ngʼeyo mar joma riek abiro keyo nono.”
20 Where is your wise man? Where your expounder of the Law? Where your investigator of the questions of this present age? Has not God shown the world's wisdom to be utter foolishness? (aiōn g165)
Ere ngʼama jarieko? Ere japuonj chik? Ere jatwak molony moloyo e pinyni? Donge Nyasaye osemiyo rieko mar pinyni odoko fuwo? (aiōn g165)
21 For after the world by its wisdom--as God in His wisdom had ordained--had failed to gain the knowledge of God, God was pleased, by the apparent foolishness of the Message which we preach, to save those who accepted it.
Nyasaye nochano gi riekone ni piny ok nyal ngʼeyo Kristo gi riekone owuon, to nochano mana ni kuom fuwo mar wach mwalandoni ema owarogo joma oyie.
22 Seeing that Jews demand miracles, and Greeks go in search of wisdom,
Jo-Yahudi dwaro ni nyaka timnegi honni, to jo-Yunani to manyo rieko,
23 while we proclaim a Christ who has been crucified--to the Jews a stumbling-block, to Gentiles foolishness,
to wan wayalo Kristo mane ogur, ma en kidi machwanyo jo-Yahudi kendo en fuwo ni joma ok jo-Yahudi.
24 but to those who have received the Call, whether Jews or Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God.
To kuom ji duto ma Nyasaye oseluongo, bed ni gin jo-Yahudi kata jo-Yunani, Kristo en teko Nyasaye kendo en rieko Nyasaye.
25 Because that which the world deems foolish in God is wiser than men's wisdom, and that which it deems feeble in God is mightier than men's might.
Nikech fup Nyasaye riek moloyo rieko dhano, kendo nyawo mare otegno moloyo teko dhano.
26 For consider, brethren, God's call to you. Not many who are wise with merely human wisdom, not many of position and influence, not many of noble birth have been called.
Jowetena, parieuru kaka nuchal kane Nyasaye oluongou. Ji mathoth kuomu ne ok joma riek, kipimou gi rieko dhano, bende ji mathoth kuomu ne ok joma rahuma kata joma oa e koth ruodhi.
27 But God has chosen the things which the world regards as foolish, in order to put its wise men to shame; and God has chosen the things which the world regards as destitute of influence, in order to put its powerful things to shame;
To Nyasaye noyiero gima ofuwo mag piny mondo okuodgo wi joma riek. Nyasaye noyiero bende gik manyap mag piny mondo okuodgo wi joma rateke.
28 and the things which the world regards as base, and those which it sets utterly at nought--things that have no existence--God has chosen in order to reduce to nothing things that do exist;
Nyasaye noyiero gik ma piny ochayo kendo manono mondo otiekgo gik ma jopiny kwano ni lich.
29 to prevent any mortal man from boasting in the presence of God.
Notimo kamano mondo kik ngʼato osungre e nyime.
30 But you--and it is all God's doing--are in Christ Jesus: He has become for us a wisdom which is from God, consisting of righteousness and sanctification and deliverance;
En e chakruok mar ngimau ei Kristo Yesu, mane obedonwa rieko moa kuom Nyasaye, tiende ni tim makare, pwodhruok, kod resruok.
31 in order that it may be as Scripture says, "He who boasts--let his boast be in the Lord."
Emomiyo, mana kaka ondiki niya, “Ngʼat ma sungore mondo osungre kuom Jehova Nyasaye.”
